Bahman Jalali

Text by Ali Behdad, Hamid Dabashi, Dariush Shayegan.

This elegantly produced volume gathers three extraordinary photo-series by Iranian photographer Bahman Jalali: the Iranian Revolution (1978–79), the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88) and a portrait of Iran’s postwar years, from 2000–08, titled Image of Imagination. Jalali’s photographic accounts of his country’s recent history have made him one of Iran’s most important chroniclers.
